My goodness. This whole thing describes my soon to be ex-husband. I've gotten therapy, and my therapist told me that he may have this disorder after she read my journals. It's been a constant 7 year roller coaster, and I had to get off. The physical and mental abuse stuck out like a thorn

had about all but 4 or 5 answers yes. i asked my husband the questions and he answered them the same way and i really feel sad that i'm this way. i've been being treated for schizoaffective disorder and ptsd. does anyone know because my t said since pdoc at hospital in oct. put personality disorder on chart nos (non specified) that i have some borderline but i'm trying to get that off my chart. i DON'T WANT A PERSONALITY DISORDER ON MYCHART! from what i've read once you have a persoanlity disorder it never goes away. and borderline is really bad and pardon the expression but we're wacko. Mary sings whats your experience with this? i feel like i'm crazy half the time! and have for years! as i get older for some reason the sh gets worse. i wish someone would put an arm around me and say girl can you just stop it. just stop it for yourself no one else butyourself. can you just try to care enough to stop for yourself. i dunno. i'm very sad ................

I don't care about having a personality disorder. It explains to care-givers what I am like. I make apologies for my behavior and I do my best to stay on an even keel. If borderline issues get involved, then I try to use the DBT skills to help myself.

My self-harm urges seem to never go away. I dream of ways of hurting myself. Not good dreams at all. I struggle with those negative thoughts all day, every day.

Find a therapist who has had the training in DBT and EMDR. Both are necessary to get your borderline traits and emotions in check.

Try not to be sad about being Borderline. It's not something that will go away, but it is something you can learn to live with.

All the best,Mary - MarySings - Wacko Mary!

I'm strong willed and I tell it like it is. I make mistakes, I'm sometimes out of control, but I love and give with all my heart. Have patience with me as I heal.

You are so geniune and so caring. thank you! My t has taught dbt and she is one of the more popular emdr t's in my clinic. so i do have a very good t.I just think for a pdoc to put personality disorder nos on my chart stinks! its ridiculous for someone who doesn't even know me and i've asked her if she's read my chart and she said just a bit.................who is she to judge when my reg t exisitng and past can't make that statement.

they all have said in the past i have some borderline tendencies but per the dmvr? you know the docs book I don't meet all the criteria. So we'll see.I do very much appreciate your support Mary. I already know I'm wacko (lol) (I can't believe i actually wrote that sorry) because i have been all my life. Happy new year and may it be better than 2011. fran

I'm sad too because we (my husband and I were going to go to a show and eat at it...we never do anything!) I guess we'll just have to look forward to what the rest of the day brings. Can you do something nice for yourself! i'm listening to barbra streisand Happy new year Mary,. I will pray and send you good thoughts. fran

Hello, I have read through your post, and thank you for sharing. I suspect that my husband has BPD, He has run our marriage to ruins, and we are in divorce procedures. Recently I spoke with him about the possibility of him having this illness, but now, as with everything, he is saying it is my fault, and that I have BPD, which I do not. May I ask you to, at your convenience, please read my post under WebMD Depression Community. Title of my post is: Can it possibly get worse? Maybe you have some advice for me, to in some way help my husband...it would be greatly appreciated. Bless you.
